Wärtsilä Low Loss Hybrid (LLH)<br />

The introduction of Wärtsilä Low Loss Hybrid (LLH) <strong>and</strong> its integration with a conventional<br />

diesel or dual-fuel engine generating sets, offers significant efficiency<br />

improvement by running the engines on optimal load <strong>and</strong> absorbing many of the<br />

load fluctuations through batteries. The system is designed <strong>and</strong> integrated to optimise<br />

the overall operation of the vessel.<br />

The power <strong>and</strong> energy capacity of the battery should be suitable to allow the engine<br />

to run for most of the time on optimal loads. The system is designed <strong>and</strong> integrated to<br />

optimise the overall operation of the vessel. A key element is hybrid control algorithms<br />

for load sharing between units <strong>and</strong> efficient power <strong>and</strong> energy management.<br />
